Wednesday afternoon, into the evening, the 150-​member New York State Assembly debated Governor Cuomo’s marriage equality bill. As expected, the bill passed, 80 – 63, just after 9:00 PM. And as expected, opponents cited God, religion, their desire to preserve traditional marriage as reasons for voting against equality, while supporters of the bill delivered strong responses to those who believe in traditional marriage.
